November 18, 2025. Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta (GSGATL) announced the planned closure of Camp Misty Mountain in Armuchee, Georgia. The decision to close a camp is not made easily or quickly and after a multi-year evaluation, the Board of Directors for Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta has made the difficult decision to permanently close Camp Misty Mountain at the end of May 2026. A dedicated task force comprised of current GSGATL members, volunteers, members of the Board of Directors, and Council staff reached this conclusion based on a series of recommendations from camp property experts, onsite property tours, operational cost evaluations, and program participation.
The closure of Camp Misty Mountain allows us to align resources at Camps Meriweather and Timber Ridge and affirms our commitment to providing affordable, safe spaces for our girls.
Camp Misty Mountain and Lake Marvin will remain open for activities through early spring. Any troops with summer 2026 camp reservations are being contacted with additional information and offered space at either Camps Timber Ridge or Meriwether.
“We are grateful to everyone who helped shape generations of Girl Scouts through their dedication to Camp Misty Mountain,” said Jai Ferrell, CEO of Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta. “The camp’s spirit will continue to inspire us as we create new opportunities for girls to explore the outdoors and build courage, confidence, and character. We also thank the people of Floyd, Chattooga and Gordon counties, our neighbors and friends, for more than 50 years.”
As information becomes available, GSGATL will update the Camp Misty Mountain website with the latest on the closure, including a planned closing ceremony to honor the campsite.
